Finska dialekter i Sverige : En kvantitativ undersökning om sverigefinska skolans elevers syn på finska dialekter och tvåspråkighet

<p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the view of Finnish dialects and identity of first, second and third generation of Sweden Finns students in 7th, 8th and 9th graders, in two Sweden Finn schools. The questions at issue for the essay were: How do Swedes of Finnish extraction think of the Finnish dialects? Is there a correlation between identifying as Finnish and knowledge and usage of the Finnish dialects, as opposed to Finns living in Finland? To which extent do the Finnish students have knowledge regarding the Finnish dialects? To answer the questions a quantitative method was used and a questionnaire was answered by over 100 students. The results of the study showed that the Finnish dialects did not exert any influence on the students’ life nor their sense of identity. Their knowledge regarding dialects was limited to standard Finnish and the dialect of Helsinki Finnish.</p>
